Placebo Effect

Tell your false acquaintance I won’t be ignored
I’ll sell it to the tabloids and I’ll shock the under-awed
Staying well ahead because I’m dedicated
Feeling pretty good because I’m medicated
Can’t tell just what it is that you’ve been giving me
Sugar coated capsules, have you no integrity?
We’re undercover agents of the corporation
Thank you very much for your cooperation
I’ve got nothing but an altered ego
You’re nothing
Placebo
Don’t know how on earth this stuff is helping me
I can’t think straight, my mind has left a hole, a vacancy
This is no calling nor a life vocation
My body’s not valid for appropriation
Give it to me, let me feel the power come
It’s having no effect, what the hell is going wrong?
I’ve taken what you’ve got, but I’m so deflated
The stuff you gave to me is so overrated
I’ve got nothing but an altered ego
You’re nothing
Placebo
Red white pink light blue an anomaly
Staring at the pills you're putting right in front of me
Don't have to claim to be an intellectual
Taking a placebo is completely ineffectual
I wanna shout “Just flush it out, whatever’s running through me”
You can’t explain what’s in my brain or what it’s doing to me
No knowing what they get away with
No knowing what you’re gonna pay with
Meditation, medication, lead us not into temptation
I’ve got nothing but an altered ego
You’re nothing
Placebo
I’ve got nothing but an altered ego
You’re nothing

Seasons

Sometimes, life is hard
It leaves you feeling like a dog left stranded in the summer sun
Thinking about the how and why, no reasons that can justify
You sitting all alone and crying, thinking you’re the only one
Just try and understand
There’ll be temporary moments
Even when the night is dark
And drenched by winter rain
Memories of disappointments
Will fade away
Waiting for the sun to come
For Spring to make us shine again
Wipe away the tears that’ve fallen like the leaves in autumn
Clouds swollen as they drift apart
Time for introspection or at least some self reflection
We’re not talking ‘bout rejection, you’re not ending with a broken heart
And try to understand
It’s just a temporary moment
Even though the night seems dark
And drenched by winter rain
Memories of disappointments
Will fade away
Waiting for the sun to come
For Spring to make us shine again
Pause…Reflect…Respect
Life is separated into periods of growth
Like the seasons of a year changing with an ebb and flow
There’ll be ups and downs with hopes and fears
And laughter, smiles and tears
And our dreams will be revived
If we remember what it means to be alive

Disordered

Confusion
Lost inside the mess within
This delusion
I’m really worried ‘bout the state I’m in
How could I know that this was gonna happen?
Was it written on my face?
What am I going to do tomorrow?
A lost cause all over the place
I’m disordered
Disordered
Disordered
Disordered
What was I thinking?
There must be something I can do without
Just start all over
Take the step and try to sort it out
Locked in isolation
I’m sure that I can find a way
Shocked in temptation
I don’t wanna live in disarray
In disorder
Disordered
I’m disordered
I’m disorganised
Don’t wanna be an inconvenience
I wanna fix this mess I’m in
I’m really worried about my world collapsing
I’m kind of worried about the state I’m in
I have to find a new sense of order
Before I simply fade away
Keep my head above water
Don’t wanna live in disarray
In disorder
I’m disordered
I’m disordered
I’m disorganised
I’m disordered

In my dreams I am right there beside you
When I wake up I’m alone
In my dreams I am standing right behind you
When I wake up you are gone
In my dreams we would always be together
When I wake up we’re apart
In my dreams we would share our lives forever
When I wake it doesn’t start
In my dreams you fill the place with laughter
When I wake up silence calls
In my dreams we are happy ever after
When I wake up darkness falls
Dreams can be deceiving
When you wake up still believing
That the visions you’re perceiving could come true
And so I’m left here grieving
At the thought that you are leaving
Forever in my dreams there’s ever you
In my dreams my arms are wrapped around you
And then I wake up with your arms enfolding me
In my dreams we would stay like this for hours
But when I wake up I find I’m lying by myself again
In my dreams I am standing right behind you
When I wake up you are gone
In my dreams I am right there beside you
When I wake up I’m alone
